HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday July 26, 1962 fir?,,,' j V" FARM PONDS, such as this one on the Don Greenup place, nine miles (rom Hcppner on Hinton creek, are becoming increasingly important to the American farmer, both from the standpoint of economics and recreation. This pond covers about 34 of an acre on the surface and holds about three acre feet of water, according to Ralph Richards, Soil Conservation Service. Pond Safety! Stressed In keeping with Farm Safety Week, July 22-28, Ralph Richards of the Soil C onservation oil ice, Ileppner, calls attention (o both the benefits and hazards of farm ponds. In the past quarter century, farmers and ranchers have buill a million ponds as a part of their soil and water conservation plans, Richards points out. Ponds are used in many farm ing programs, such as water for livestock, sprinkler irrigation water source, fire protection and recreation in the form of fishing, boating, swimming and ice skating. County Agent Ncls Anderson adds that there are more than 50 farm ponds In Morrow county that are stocked with fish. One recent noteworthy use of a farm pond was that at the Ken Turner place last week when fire destroyed his barn. The pond, strategically located for fire protection, gave the fire men an unlimited supply of water that they used in con trolling the fire and preventing further destruction. Not all farm ponds, however, are located close enough to be available for pumping from the source direct to the fire. Among rules listed by the National Safety Council on farm ponds are these: 1. Recreation must be supervised at all times by an adult. 2. Never swim alone, fish alone, boat alone or skate alone. 3. Safety instructions for boating, swimming and skating should be posted. 4. If the farm pond Is located so it gets the drainage from barnyards or sewers, or if livestock are allow ed to drink directly from the pond, do not permit swimming or other recreation because of san itary reasons. 5, l'lace lifesaving devices such as ring buoys, ropes and long poles around swimming areas. 6. Know accep ted methods of artificial respir ation. 7. Clear all trees, stumps, brush, wire and rubbish from swimming and boating areas. 8. Children should be educated to the hazards of farm ponds and irrigation ditches and canals. Court News Terry Ray Crindstaff, defec tive equiment, fined $10.

Good thinking. But we did play nine holes here after 5:00. Ed and Grib were so busy trying to beat one another, they let one of the gals sneak in and beat 'em both, by one stroke. On Tuesday the ladies played their round starting at 7 a.m. Seven started and played blind partner, with Hester and Kay as winning "partners." Velma Glass had least putts.
